Hello RaduG, I already managed to make it work... Booting into recovery and performing all kind of wipes did the trick. However, I did find a small bug: after taking a picture, I went back to home screen but the screen was small, as it is in the preview mode when all the available home screens are shown.

Quite strange, even though I couldn't interact with my fingers, scroll ball worked.

I managed to increase that screen to the full size, but i have no idea how I did that.

Multumesc, RaduG.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
yes u have to use adb. why don't u do a search in the forums? I don't know how to do it else i'd tell u.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
do a little search mate..

i think it is a bit too much to come in these type of topics to ask

how do i adb logcat?

how do i wipe?

how do i this and that..

the thread is cater for the rom.

and rom related bugs reporting etc..

drop by the android general sub-forum to ask

or better, do a search..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinyfong:
im sorry :( but i was just wondering that is radu going to look into chocolate 2 problem too as well?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I'm not doing anything yet, because I have to fully recover fast... I got a phone today saying that I start the next CISCO certificate classes on monday.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinyfong:
i am still not familiar on how to use the contact? i cant find the link to fb in the contact
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
xplore more and u'll get the hang
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinyfong:
there is not alternative to the contacts? like the sense people?

2. JIT

Enabling JIT is very simple. Pull /system/build.prop, comment the last line(add "#" in front of it), save, and push to /system. Then reboot. To disable JIT, pull /system/build.prop, and remove the comment, then push it back.

Where is the last line?:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
Are you serious?!? You should start searching at the end of the file. Usually, the last line is the last... :p

Seriously, though, that is probably not your question...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] comphotostian:
I was stuck in booting after comenting that last line :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] vlefevre86:
When you say "get stuck on boot", do you mean on the HERO screen? Because mine often gets stuck here, not even reaching the bootanimation... I have to pull the battery, get on recovery mode, and reboot from here (similar to adb reboot, I guess). It's getting reeeeally anoying... And I don't have access to adb right now...

Edit : Didn't even activated A2SD.... I do have an EXT partition, though...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeone:
Just my experience, been using this rom for about a week and i have to tell you that is very good, very fast and usable (i will never go back to sense again!).

Just some bugs that i found out, maybe will help in future updates:

- No headphone icon (but headphones are working)

- Battery life is not so good (1 day or less on heavy usage)

- Quickoffice on system partition (don't know how to get rid of it)

- Green battery led when charging turns up around at 93%...supposed to turn up at 100%
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
Is there anyway to fix the led notification for messages? Only my trackball blinks. Not the other led.I have set it to blink but still doesn't. Would appreciate the help.

Thank you.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
You can use Titanium Backup to uninstall anything! ;)

I have this too. Mine turns green at around 90. I will try to empty the battery until the end and charge with phone turned off.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeone:
Thanks a lot for the answer, i will try titanium backup...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
I just noticed today that I cannot install Layar nor ShopSavvy. Neither from the market nor from a previous Titanium Backup. Installation always fails. :s

Could this somehow be related to market not showing every app?

(I can find both Layar and ShopSavvy in the market, though.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Iggniite:
This is a bug in Launcher Pro, not in this rom.

I am experiencing the same problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
turns out that's actually a good idea. as battery gets older it won't charge quite so fully - if you want green light forever when "fully charged" this is one way to do it and how google chose to do it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Elemag:
For the lights to work properly, you can compile from the attached file:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinyfong:
do we flash this file or something?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cauli:
Sounds like a previous problem concerning the camera. For some reason Android sometimes thinks a camera isn't available, so excludes apps that require one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
Well, for me the camera is working fine in every other app. Just these two that fail to install..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ArchaosAngel:
what do we do with the file?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MasterLeePhD:
Hey mate cheers for your feedback. I tried what you said and I'm still having problems. I've ordered a new battery so here's hoping the current battery is just dead, If not will try another flash and if that fails will have to buy a new phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
I hope it was just the battery....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hund:
You can use Log Collector from Market.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fedorafennec:
This happened to me also. It's caused by a proxy setting that I haven't seen in most other roms. Go to Settings > Wireless and Network > Proxy Settings (it's the last one) and it can be disabled there. I think it is affected by the APN settings since the IP address it had was the same used in those on my device.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hmjbarbosa:
I am having trouble with eclair 5.0... When I start dialling a number it doesn`t look at my contacts phonebook to smart complete it... It really sucks. Searched this forum but didn't find and answer.

Going back to VillainRom...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
Vanilla dialer does not do that. You can try Dialer One or NubDialer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
I have been away for a week or so as I had family visiting me and as much fun as it may be (!?) it renders one very unproductive. However, I did run VE5 final all that time on my mobile and managed to check things around and ended up with few conclusions.

I really have no problems with the ROM apart from two small issues - some of the apps missing from the Market and WiFi connection droping often, especially in the Market. But that's bareable cause apart from one application I had most backed up with appsaver. As for WiFi I'd love it to be more stable but it may be the case with my Radio (63.18.55.06PH_6.35.15.11), I don't know.

On the upside though the ROM is very, and I wanna stress this fact VERY snappy. I have no slow downs nor any stuttering whatsoever - I did not play any 3D intensive games but I don't often do, so it would not be a deal breaker even if it sucked a little. In 2D, in UI it is darn FAST though! I like the battery life as well even though I did not use my phone a lot over the period and can't tell for sure if it's equally god as in VE4.

That all said, as usual excellent release, RaduG, and can't wait for your Froyo! ^__^

Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
+1

this is the fastest rom I've used in all ways together. froyo might slightly be faster in some ways, but in other UI ways and in 3d graphics froyo is notably slower.

this has BY FAR the fastest 3d rendering of any rom on the hero. I just went through about 10 roms in the past 2 weeks to double check my conclusions. must be the 5.0.8 stuff since cmh1.4.1 is really fast too in 3d games (but I feel that this rom is faster in overall use... maybe it's in my head though). everything else renders those 3d games much more slowly without any room for argument, it's quite visually obvious.

This also has amazingly fast UI updates, great stability, and most of the important stuff works great.

One complaint though, and to me a fairly important one: can't seem to find a way to manual focus the camera which is a nice to have for pics but a requirement for good quality video. with some roms you can click preview to have it trigger and autofocus event. if you do that in video mode (when not recording) it sets up the best pic quality you can get since there's no realtime autofocus while recording. then you start recording and just keep a similar distance to focal point the whole time.

I can't find a way to do that with this video camera app.

any ideas? alternative apps that record video and solve the focus problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
It's not a mistake, RaduG is well known for releasing very stable & extremely fast ROMs. He may not be as fast at chasing the Froyo dream as others are but his ROMs are pure quality and when he does get to Froyo eventually I bet all the other ROMs will not stand a chance aside it. ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
his 4.0 was my favorite (and still is) stable, quick, reliable, 2.1 rom.

I love his work. but 5.0.8 builds always have had issues. this one shows how amazing it can be.

credit where credit due though, the cmh1.4.1 rom is also really great. I happen to prefer the performance and "just works"-ness of this rom though, although I really wish it could see all market apps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
Hey guys, nice to hear that you like it.

I won't move to froyo yet. I might start working on the OTA updater tomorrow. Updates here, as usual.

Cheers.

Dude not only Vanilla Eclair, Even Chocolate Eclair is the best Sense ROM available as of today, It's the fastest among the others and This is the only ROM I have seen which doesn't has a big difference in playing games with Sound On or Off :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
ChocEclair is really good, though it has this minor thing with Superuser and/or root that sometimes doesn't give you root after you reboot so you have to tinker with SU for a bit or wait awhile and root will eventually appear. Good thing is that once you get root, it stays with you till the next reboot. Besides this, ChocEclair is nearly perfect!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] topifone:
How can I turn off Mobile Network (GPRS/3G) connection? In original / other ROMs, we have a check box for that in Wireless Network Setting but not in this ROM. I dont want my Hero stay in connection all the time, that drains battery and costs money :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] enyeng:
AFAIK, in AOSP ROMs there is no option to turn off mobile data connection (thus, the check box you were looking for does not exist).

Alternatively, you can use 3rd party apps such as apndroid which works by manipulating the APN list.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] embrion:
There is an option to turn off data. Just use Extended Controls or Switch Pro widget. It really helped me (along with leaving default OC settings and wipe battery stats tweak) to get one of the best battery lifes I've seen.

+ if you want to limit apps access to data connection (GSM/3G or WiFi separately ), just use DroidWall.

Of course I turn off data anyway to conserve battery as DroidWall just blocks connections but leaves data connection enabled
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MasterLeePhD:
Well got a new battery and still having the same problems :mad:. Could the problem be with my Radio? I have the latest radio flashed but haven’t heard anyone else with this problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] topifone:
How can I uninstall LauncherPro? I use Titanium Backup but when uninstalling LP it says that it cannot find LauncherPro. I cannot find LP in /system/app either?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Screatch:
I have installed Gallery 3D via APK but when rotating gallery, it goes back to gallery folder view.. any fix?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
No worries, no one's rushing you. It was just a statement that I'd rather use 2.1 from you and wait for whenever you'll have 2.2 ready than move to somebody else's 2.2, suffer from issues and read countless posts of hatred and competitive slander on both said forums - you know who I'm talking about. ^__^

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, I do have it downloaded though. Maybe cause I'm such a sucker for vanilla... ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I may have to give you some bad news. There are some chances that I will be out of the dev scene for 2-3 months, with a very good reason. I will take CCNA2,3,4, a ZEND PHP certification and some Linux certifications and I've received an offer which seems interesting, with these labs being done in a short period of time... Like CCNA2 and 3 labs all done in a week. I'll have to think about it, because all this certificates should look good when I apply for a scolarship abroad.

Oh, and... CCNA2 might start on monday.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rootbox00:
Do it! And good luck :)

PS: only one thing.. only if it possible and don't steal you to much time! can u include the patch for the touchscreen driver is sent you via PM from Ninpon? :)

€: Your ROM is really good you can leave us with a good feeling ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lukesky:
I've used extended controls and apndroid and sometimes after disabling data for awhile, I can't connect to internet anymore. the 3g icon appears and the little arrows blink as if its downloading data but browsers can't connect at all, its as if the link between the apps that need internet is severed . this is very common with aosp ROMs but doesn't happen at all on sense ROMs
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Well, what can I say, we had a GOOD run with an AWESOME ROM from even more GREAT Developer, you. For the time being it's obviously more wise to concentrate on your future than this and I wish you ALL the BEST! ^__^

I hope that at some point you'll be able (or you'll want) to come back to Hero scene and if that happens I know that I'll be here to support and test your uploads, as they have been the BEST out of the lot on the forums. So, GOOD LUCK, know that your input in the forums WILL be missed and I hope that you'll manage to get all the certificates and the scholarship as you plan to! ^__^

And last but not least - THANK YOU! ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
Best of luck for your future its much more important to think about your future rather than developing ROM's, But we'll always miss your ROM's and a great developer like you :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] cauli:
Ah well, best of luck with the courses & your health. If it's the qualifications you're after you're probably right to take that route, however personally speaking I found the Cisco Networking Academy route to be much preferred: much more detail & hands on time than required for the CCNA certification itself, which was an optional extra taken at the end (that for health reasons I never got around to taking myself, but at least I'm a graduate of the Cisco Net Acad).

All the best & thanks for VE :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] winston6969:
If you could manage this it'd be great
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
oh great, and then you're going to go and make lots of money and buy a new phone and then no more hero dev LoL

:-) I'm just kidding - please go with our blessing, great news, take care and best of luck!

can someone else take over maintenance of your rom though while you're gone? I don't know if that's likely or not, but there are just a couple of things (like market not showing all files) which keep this from being my goto rom when I'm not gambling with froyo.

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crazypong3:
I also have the same problem...Can anyone help me...:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mainstreamer:
Just a quick question, on which version of android is this based?

Im quite new :P
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rootbox00:
Android 2.1 - The ROM who this is based of is CyanogenMod 5.0.8
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I will update both VE and CE before I'm gone. And I will also provide an OTA updater for VE for further maintenance... this means I will still update VanillaEclair, rarerly, but support will be available.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
nice! :-)

thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Will you occasionally check the forum as well, or is it going to be purely ironing out the issues on your side and pushing updates through OTA?

Btw. since you're leaving this would probably be the best time that I asked you for the links to documentation we spoke about couple of months back? You never know in few months I may be holding the ROM until you come back. ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
I will check the forum, but I won't be as active. About the documentation, to be honest I didn't follow something specifically, but the google android documentation was damn helpful.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kad3t:
Cool. Thanks. Will take a look at it. ^__^
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Maharifu:
Hi Radu. First off, thank you for the great work in a great Rom! :)

Now, your personal life is obviously prioritary, and I wish you the best of luck!

This is just a thought, so don't punch me for it... :p Since you'll be out for a while, and since all other 5.0.8 roms have been merged, maybe it would be good to join effort with Elemag, and kinda merge everything. Elemag would maybe be able to provide support while you're out, and when you come back, you go straight to froyo!

This would be the ultimate vanilla Rom! :)

Anyway, just a thought... And again, a big thank you, man!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hacre:
Just checked this ROM out as I was looking for a 2.1 AOSP build to aid in my camera research for Froyo.

Very, very impressive, fast as anything. Good job RaduG.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sam.wangcong:
will a update to fix reboot and multitouch issues be available before you leave?

really loved VE, but freezing at htc logo while rebooting is really bugging me
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RaduG:
@Hacre

Thanks mate :)

@sam.wangcong

Yes, those issues will be fixed in the next 3 days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeone:
Hi guys, maybe someone can help me.

How can i uninstall LauncherPro to update to a newer version? I can't uninstall because is in /system directory (this happens with a couple of other applications too) :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
the one that is preinstall in ve5 is updateable via the market
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeone:
I can't see it in market, sorry...maybe it's my installation gone wrong?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
when there is an update, u will get notifications to d.l them.

otherwise u can check the download tab in market too.

latest install is version 33
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeone:
Ok, mine is version 26...

I have LauncherPro Beta v0.6.7.2 and in market there's v0.7.1.0

edit: i found the solution, i installed latest version from market, everything is going smooth, i've got 0.7.1.0 now :)

Still i'm looking for advice on how to uninstall system applications (in /system)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] noobhero:
the one in the market is an update, no?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mainstreamer:
I installed this rom, but i can't seem to disable 3G netwerk? I don't have a data plan.

Data roaming isn't on :S

I mangled the APN host, but should it be off by just disabling data roaming?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/*xxxx*

Just write a short name for the app you want to remove eg :- For LauncherPro give the command :

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/*launcher*

and you are done, But make sure you hould have another launcher installed and running before you remove the default launcher.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mainstreamer:
Is this also possible when installing another launcher, and then use titanium backup to remove launcher pro?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
I haven't tried doing this before through Titanium Backup, But I think this would work :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mainstreamer:
Just another question... which radio version do you suggest is the best? :cool:

I installed one with another a while back, but it made my reception really bad.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
I'm using this from a long time and the everything just works fine, you can try this one 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14 :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mainstreamer:
Ok thanks, that's allot better lol 70% better to be exact.

I just tried unistalling launcher pro with titanium backup.

It worked.

But now i want to reinstall a newer version of launcher pro (apk file), which doesn't work -> when trying to install i get the message that it is a system application and installation failes, any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deeone:
Thanks dre :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
Did you installed another launcher before uninstalling launcher pro and if you did this just try a reboot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dkelley:
if you aren't yet running 0.7.10 or whatever current version is, but can't see it in market for some bizarre reason (the update worked for me, running this rom since last night with ZERO issues I couldn't solve myself), then go to launcherpro.com and download the apk from there, put it on your sd card via usb, enable the first checkbox in settings->applications if it isn't enabled already, and open the file using a file manager such as Linda File Manager (still the fastest of it's type, ugly and lacking in features though it is).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mainstreamer:
Yes i did but i forgot to reboot, is it mandatory before reinstalling system applications? Didn't know that.

Ill try again.

Thanks though

Edit:

Ok, tried what you said, but didn't work.

Even though i unistalled it tells me when i try to install that im replacing other components so installation failes. :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oopeteroo:
VE 5 was my first customrom i tried after hero root. And its the keeper. But the only downside for me is the batterylife. I use only gsm, no sync, no backgrounds data, no bt, no gps, or even went to the airplane-mode + wifi webbrowsing, my battery went down 1procent in every 3 min.

so used the NAS, i want to try Lokernel, its just a waste of time, or will i get some batteryboost ? how much more battery will i get compare to the NAS version ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Judim:
It is not the ROM nor the kernel. It is just that your battery is no more calibrated.

The short way :

Empty your battery until it's around 3%.

Shutdown and boot in Recovery mode.

Wipe your battery stats.

Shutdown and charge fully overnight.

The long way :

Empty totally your battery. When it shutdown by it self, reboot. Totally empty!

Charge fully overnight with power off.

In the morning boot in recovery, wipe battery stats. Unplug the charger. Boot.

Use your phone normally until it is again totaly empty.

Go for a second night of full full charging with power off.

It is well calibrated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dr.dre:
Just try giving those commands once and then try again, it hasn't been uninstalled properly that's why its showing this error
